Borrow a life jacket from any of the Albany Fire Stations.

It’s easy and FREE to keep kids afloat and safe around water:

1. Choose a life jacket
2. Fill out a release form
3. Wear the jacket while in or near water!
4. Return the jacket within one week

Life Jackets are kept at all four fire stations all year round. During the summer season, life jackets are available outside on the Loan-A-Life sign with extras inside the fire station. Life jackets can be obtained from inside the fire station during winter months.

The Loan-A-Life Jacket Program is fully funded through the Albany Firefighters Community Assistance Fund (AFFCAF), grants and donations.
